ksquared 13 Report post Posted June 11, 2019 I'm getting ready to install my rear bumper. Here is a pic of a bumper bracket. Is this the proper order of the fastener? Of course the bot & big washer are on the "inside" and the shim and rubber washer are on the "outside". I didn't realize the big washer was necessary.

69ShelbyGT350H 61 Report post Posted June 11, 2019 Yes, bolt and big washer go on from the inside of the trunk. Mine did not have a rubber washer. I did have to use my shims as when I changed the angle of the bracket it brought the bumper in too close. https://redshost.com/gt350/images/20161030_143136.jpg https://redshost.com/gt350/images/20161030_153953.jpg https://redshost.com/gt350/images/20161030_214001.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted June 11, 2019 It's correct but I didn't use any shims. The rubber washers seal the holes so adding shims might be counter productive. Try to install without the shims. Do you have the correct wavy washers that go between the bracket and the inside of the bumper? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ksquared 13 Report post Posted June 11, 2019 Not sure about the wavy washer. I think so but I'll check tonight. Thanks guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ksquared 13 Report post Posted June 12, 2019 Yep. They be wavy. Anyone know of a reasonable source for the caulk strip for the gas tank? Seems like $20+ for 60 feet is kinda ridiculous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
